The familiar black No. 18 Carino’s Italian Grill Chevrolet will take to the track for the final time this season as rookie NASCAR Busch Series driver Brad Coleman completes his 17 race schedule with Joe Gibbs Racing in the Arizona Travel 200 this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. In 16 races for JGR in 2007, the impressive youngster has posted three Top 5’s, five Top 10’s, seven Top 15’s and nine Top 20’s along with winning the Pole at Talladega and outside Pole at Bristol. Coleman has recently made headlines by signing two independent driver agreements in both the NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In 2008 he will run the No. 27 Kleenex Ford Fusion for new Brewco Motorsports owner Gary Baker in the Nationwide Series and begin his Cup career by testing and running his inaugural Cup races for Hall of Fame Racing.
